Handling Date & time column as drop down filter

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 19
Hi All
 
We have created one canvas app and on the same we have created a drop down filter for user.
 
Now problem is the column linked to that field is date and time column, so on app under drop down it is showing numbers not actual date and time. We have used the below formula for drop down:
 
Sort(Distinct(Tablename, Column name),
        SortOrder.Descending
    )
 
Could some one please guide how to update this to show date and time instead of number. Also we looking for solution whenever user open it that will show data basis latest date and time.
 
Regards
Mohit
